In response, residents are
calling on the UNDA to release its new Masterplan and engage with residents
about its plans as a whole before any more development applications are
approved.
Just as Darlington was
gobbled up by Sydney Uni’s expansion, Chippendale residents fear their suburb
too is being threatened by an ever expanding University of Notre
Dame. A key issue is that the UNDA is a private corporation and as
such, not obliged to release the same information as public Universities.
The latest Development
Application is for 1-7 Moorgate Street. Here residents living alongside
the UNDA are concerned about the late operating hours and weekend
accessibility. Similarly the larger community is concerned that the nature of
their quiet residential streets is changing.
The Chippendale
Residents Interest Group are calling on Council to step in and make sure the
UNDA makes public its plans and genuinely engages and consults residents.
